notes:
celebrates older musicians
anti-stereotype that magazines only show young, new musicians
e.g nick cave and Elton john
stereotypical representation of facing an uncertain future- 'there are a lot of grievers out there' - death approaching
stereotypical linking of excess and youth but using a photo of members of queen when young to illiterate a cover line about excess. - pics when young to show how wild rock stars are when younger
gender:
men- linked with authority and seriousness - image of nick cave
stereotypical: is a man, looks serious, has authority, powerful
stereotypical representation if male artists as excessive in the cover line about queen
stereotypical link of masculinity in cover line about billy brag. links masculinity to war: 'skiffle wars'
Explain how music videos use media language to promote their artists. (10 marks)
mise-en-scene
- where sk8 boi takes place as well as teenage dirtbag
teen dirt- classic, traditional typical American highschool. clear hierarchy and roles- football jocks marching in matching expensive uniform. main guy with weird clothes who doesn't belong but want to. setting is where performance and story take place. we see the band actually play and at the end we see the story and the band merge together as they play at the prom. shows who has power and wants to belong. colours of deeply saturated colours- shows American dream- colours of American sit-coms, bright, strong. jocks arrive in nice car, main guy arrives in bike which gets run over. promotes the artist: traditional way in in delivering the music video in that the band and artist and lyrics of the story are in show.
teen
editing
teen dirt: cuts between band and story- both artist and story merge at the end. Climax of the school year
camerawork
teenage dirt: close ups, mid shots, authenticate them. the fact they are performing that this is their song. shows they are confident and accomplished artists.
arc pans around artists-
sound
